pi sent me senior junbo's blog. n i just knew he couldnt make it to the us. omg, i thought he was perfect though. he has so much ec... i can see what the narrow chance i stand now. sad.
he is in nus. n not seems to be happy.
here it goes:
......Ever since i stepped into the NUS campus, I started to feel a great sense of inferiority and the undescribable resistance to be there. ... ...It seems that I have lost my goals and there is nothing for me to fight for! ......
I start to think seriously about my future. Am I going to be just an ordinary engineer working dirt hard to get 3K or 5K a month and worrying about bread and butter? Or am I going to be an ordinary person with simple and contented life? Or am i going to make a difference and rise above the ordinary? The answer is rather clear! Having been growing up under high expections and praises all the time, I have few options but to show others that I am capabable of achieving more.
I need to wake up from my dreams and start something! I shall keep on reminding myself that I am a NUS student, same as those from poly and other JCs. And I am going to make the best out of my days in NUS. .......
n here s pp 's comment:
exactly the same things happened to me after i left rj... i had my fondest memories there and almost everything related to Njc saddens my heart and triggers my cynicism. and the worst thing that could ever happen is to suddenly lose the goals and motivations...
what his friends said:
"短期内别去看那些在英国或美国大学的朋友的blog。其实不论在NUS或在US,UK，同样有着不顺心或精彩刺激" 在这边的生活并不是一帆风顺的，像我这样的往往喜欢把快乐的照片刊登出来，说是有globalization，但是shock是绝无可避免的，cultural shock，周围环境的shock，美国人情的淡薄（就像facebook/friendster那样的典型美国君子之交淡如水——你能认识很多人，你们之间也许表面上很热情，但是需要帮助的时候还是指望自己人吧），文化的巨大差异，并不是多看美国电影能简单悟出来的。很多人来美国之前都有他们的hopes, dreams and expectations，但来到这边之后发现很多事物都与想象中的不一样（想象为何物？无非你在电影中、传媒中对其肤浅的印象加上自己的想象力而已），一句话，无论身在何方，保持乐观，发扬公教时候的拼搏精神，梦想总会实现的。

another one:
...从rjc survive 的 scholars 最怕的不是繁重的学业或忙碌的课外活动，不是任何难以完成的任务，最怕的是找不到自己的目标和奋斗的方向。
虽然不甘心end up NUS，但是很多时候必须为了自己肩上的义务和责任，考虑自己的背景和情况做出牺牲和退步。何况NUS也有很多它的长处：你不用花1，2年去适应周围的环境；周围的朋友能够在各方面给你帮助；大学里有各种各样丰富的资金，可以让你不花父母一分钱，不用外出打工的情况下参加很多活动；比较靠近中国，可以随时回家看望照顾父母。等等等等。。。既来之则安之。充分的剥削NUS的一切资源才对得起自己。
没有机会在学校里看到你，给你几条我的学长给我的建议：
1. 多参加各种活动，忙碌的生活让人没时间去抱怨，去颓废。
2. 短期内别去看那些在英国或美国大学的朋友的blog。其实不论在NUS或在US,UK，同样有着不顺心或精彩刺激，不同的是在UK,US得人喜欢在blog里强调美化自己周围的生活，而在NUS的人则总是喜欢抱怨和批评，而忽略身边的精彩。
